80% of our co-op members are dedicated women who are now able to care for their families, send their children to school, and continue working hard for their communities, culture, and country. This model of inclusion is one that is evidence-based and happily trending in the international development conversation.

International aid agencies are now recognizing that working directly with women has an increased marginal value as compared to working directly with men. Take a peek at this World Bank study for more information!

Our co-founder, Tony Peele, says it best: “Our work in Tanzania provides a stable income for women as breadwinners – normalizing women as successful wage earners, managers and owners within a growing company that does business in global markets.”

So why women?

When we empower women, we enable an entire half of the population that has been historically silenced. Their children and families thrive, their communities flourish, and local economies are given the opportunity to grow. That’s something worth investing in.
